Parents may receive NY Alert messages through student sign up. If you are a parent and would like to receive the alerts, have your student add your cell phone and/or email information to his/her account.

Go to the “SIRS” link on the MVCC home page. The SIRS link is an internet based student and staff system that will allow you to enter your information into the NY Alert system. The information you enter is held as confidential and will only be used by the State Officer of Emergency Management (SEMO) to provide you with emergency information should there be an incident.

Alert others. Whether you are in a residence hall, classroom, dining hall or any campus facility, let those around you know that NY Alert has been activated. This is an important method to spread the word of an emergency.

Follow the instructions carefully. Be aware, if the situation requires it, further messages will be transmitted by NY Alert.
